hoodFrom Jason Payne, Market News Analyst …

Wow.

There now appears to be a chance that we’ll all be waving “goodbye” to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in approximately five years.

Specifically, leaders of the Senate Banking Committee introduced a plan last weekend to replace the two financiers with a government-backed mortgage-bond insurer.

And although much debate and political wrangling will surely ensure during the upcoming months and years, it is notable that this Senate proposal is already supported by the White House.

In 2008, the federal bailout of these government-sponsored entities was partially credited with averting a collapse of the financial system, and a majority of folks in Washington and on Wall Street were quite relieved when Fannie and Freddie were able to survive on economic life support.

But now, less than six years later, we may be seeing the beginning of the end for these mortgage giants.
